I have to tell one really quick story called: "How Joe saved himself from the destruction of all things blog-like".
Earlier this afternoon...let's say around 12:30pm, I decided to add some really cool things to my blogger. I copied and pasted java script into my template and was getting increasingly more impressed with myself at how fast I was learning how to read the lingo. I was adding things left and right and my smile was growing bigger and bigger.
Then, out of no where, my page FUCKS itself up. Actually I fucked it up cuz I thought I was more talented than I really am. The part of my page that has the ARCHIVE listing stretched itself so wide that it covered my entire page. All text was lost and I flipped the fuck out. I started screaming for Rita to come and save my ass. She was busy and not in the mood for my ridiculousness. Especially since she was working real hard today and I was playing for hours. She came out to help me fix my template and said the words of doom: "Joe, I really don't think I know how to fix it." My heart sank and I was convinced that I ruined my blogger. I was crushed.
I say to Rita, in my emotional outburst, that "if I don't fix this, I am never writing in a journal like this again!"
Rita and I leave for lunch. She buys me a nice meal at the West End and tells me not to panic, that she will fix it later on in the evening. I try to put it out of my mind for the duration of the lunch, but I was still so miserable. How could I fuck up my entire BLOGGLE? (Bloggle is my pet name for Blogger)
We get back for lunch and I immediately go to town on trying to solve the problem. I open a whole new blogger and try to compare the two templates. It took me about an hour and a half to sort through the chaos that I caused.
Suddenly, out of the abyss of all things amazing, my blogger is fixed! A yelp of joy escapes my throat and I run to Rita to explain that, with God's help, I have become the Java Script genius. Little does anyone know, but I sold my first born baby to the devil for the site to fix itself. Goodbye my child. Goodbye.
Hell, it was worth it.
So, my page was fixed and I thought: "Do I DARE go back in and try to add the links back into my site?" "What if I totally fuck it up again?" I decided to give it a go.
AND MY SITE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. I am so happy. It made the whole day worth it and gave me a feeling of accomplishment like I have never known.
I am really starting to get this whole java script/html thing. Slowly...very slowly...but surely...very surely.
So please, feel free to sign my guest book. Also feel free to answer the mini-poll. I will change the question as often as I can. Thank you Lord for saving my ghoulie. I would have been so sad if I lost all my hard work.
